Fiordland Advocate
3 May, 2012 | Page 17
A Te Anau hairdresser whose
curiosity prompted her to try
a relatively unknown therapy
known as Access Bars Therapy
a couple of years ago has been
so impressed by it that she
has become a licensed access
consciousness facilitator.
Karen Cooper takes pride in her
willingness to try anything new and
when she read in the Fiordland
Advocate a couple of years ago
that Trilby Johnson had begun
offering access bars therapy in Te
Anau she decided to give it a go.
She went along with no
preconceptions or expectations
and left not only wanting more but
with a desire to learn how to both
practice and teach the technique.
Started in the United States 23
years ago, access bars works
on the theory that there are 32
bars of energy running through
and around your head that store
the electromagnetic component
of your thoughts, attitudes,
ideas, decisions and beliefs. By
activating these points through
light touch, energy flows through
these bars, dissipating barriers
and releasing stuck energy. The
resulting accessed consciousness
is likened to deleting old files
from your computer, creating
more space and thus capacity to
receive more information and be
open to more opportunities. It has
been practised in New Zealand for
about 13 or 14 years.
Advocates have reported that
“having your bars run” leaves you
with a sense of peace and space
or the relief experienced following
a great massage.
Ms Cooper said when she first
had her bars run the effect was
immediate.
“Peace of mind. My (internal)
chatter went away,” she said.
“When you have this regularly you
just want to do better.”
Ms Johnson has since left
Fiordland but Ms Cooper
continued her interest and
undertook the training herself.
She is now offering access bars
sessions and is also willing
to teach anyone interested
in learning the technique
themselves.
She readily admits it’s not
everyone’s cup of tea but said
mindsets were gradually opening
towards alternative therapies,
adding that it wasn’t that long
ago that things like chiropractic
and accupuncture therapies were
considered quackery.
“One out of 10 get it but nine
out of 10 are looking for it, she
said. “For some people nothing
happens but what they don’t
realise is that something has
happened.”
She said it was a relaxing, non-
invasive process and many people
even went to sleep while having
their bars run.
Ms Cooper said she would offer
special prices for people wanting
to try it out and was prepared
to travel throughout Southland
if necessary. Ms Cooper can be
contacted on 027-601-5887.
